    VFD Help needed

    Hey guys need some info to get me started. Kl-vfd15 I can't seem to get it working. I have power, and have a Flashing display of A5R 1.0 5 could be a "S" but not sure. Only button that work's from here is the prog button, which then give's me flashing PD000, press prog again then i can use the arrow up and down buttons to change PD value. I can use the button >> to change digit postion and then arrow up down buttons, and that's it.
    Is their a combination of buttons together to push? don't know what the Jog button is for either. In info to enlighten me would be great.

    You don't have a manual?
    What is the make of the VFD?

    Afraid not didn't come with a manual, although i was sent a pdf file, after i sent a message to keling support, but that's not helping me, it talks about pressing Enter, will this unit doesn't have Enter. So i guess the pdf file is genric.
    For the make of the VFD have no idea, it only has KL1500 stamp on the front.

    Ray,

    Does this look like your VFD?

    No it doesn't look like that. Where you have F/R button, mine is a Jog Button. Where you have a Enter Button, mine is a Set Button.
    Also only my Power light come's on, the other's haven't come on at all as yet.

    Ive borrowed this from the woodwork forums. It's the best that i can find. At least it looks the same as mine, from what i can see.

    Ray,

    I believe this is the model you have.

    Jalessi, thank you for VFD file it will be alot of help further down the track. But I really don't understand why, I can't progress any further than i have. Except for pressing the "Set" button and the Arrows up & down buttons i can't enter any other information into VFD. Pressing the other buttons don't have any effect on the unit. I had assume at factory settings the spindle should work, but it doesn't, I simply can't get passed a flashing digital readout. Am i missing something here??

    If you bought this new, I am surprised if you did not get a manuf. manual?
    All the VFD's I have worked on, a flashing display usually means there is an error of some kind or that something illegal operation is being performed?
